Be it known that I, CHARLES H. (done, a; citizen of the. United States, res ding at murnn srarns PATENT v oruuoa CHARLES H. COLE, F BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

POURING-LADLE.

the city, of New York, borough of Brooklyn, Kingscounty, in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Imprmrements in Pouring-Ladies, of which the following isa full, clear, and exact specifi cation.

This invention relates to pouring ladles for use in pouringmolten metal into molds and has for its object to provide a ladle of this character adapted to pour themolten metal into a plurality of molds at one operation, k

Further the invention has for 1tsob ect to provide aladle of'this type with means i for insuring the pouring of equal quantities of metal into eachof the several molds. Further the invention has for lts obj ect to provide a ladle having a distributlng chamber WitIiIwhich the pouring members communicate whereby the molten metal within the chamber will be evenly distributed with respect to the several pouring members. e p l r Further tllflll'lVeIllllOll has for its ob ect to provide means for varying the rate, of

flow of the metal to be poured therefrom.

Other objects will in part be obvious and in part be pointed out hereinafter.

To the attainment of the aforesaid objects and ends, my invention consists n the novel details of construction, and in the combination, connection and, arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described and then pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawing showlng an illustrative embodiment of the invention- Figure 1 is a topview of the ladle;

Fig. 2 is an end elevational view thereof, and

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 33 of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawing the ladle comprises a receptacle 10 having a forwardly extending portion 10 provided with a front wall 11 havinga plurality of pouring openings 12 extending therethrough and spaced Projecting rearwardly from the upper edge of the front wall 11, and positioned above the openings 12, is a cover 13 which extends over the front portion of the receptacle 10 and has its rear edge spaced from the rear Wa f the "temp ed? 1-9 a sisters Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Aug, 28,1917, Application filed September 30, 1916. Serial No. 123,006. 9

sufficient to provide .anopeningto permit the molten metal to flow freely into the receptacle 10 when the ladle is dipped into the v mass of molten metal prior to the pouring operation. A skimming, member 14 ex- 7 receptacle 10 there is provided athreaded boss 15 adapted to receive the threaded end of a handle 16 of any suitable size and;

form. A plate 17,..detachably secured to the front wall 11 of the receptacle 10 by screws 18 or the like, carries pouring .nozzl'es 19 which, when the plate is, osition, register with the openings 12 in tli provided carrying nozzles 19 of different sizes whereby any desired one of the plates:-

may be attached to the receptacle depending'upon the size of the molds which are to be filled, it being understood that the openings 12 in the front wall 11 are of a size corresponding to the largest sized nozzles which are used.

In operation the plate 17' carrying the nozzles 19 of the desired size is secured to the receptacle by the screws 18. The ladle is then dipped into the mass of molten metal,

being held by the handle 16, whereby the receptacle 10 is filled. The'ladle is thereupon tilted to permit the molten metal to be poured from the receptacle 10 through the nozzles 19 into the molds. During the pouring operation the skimming member 14 prevents any dross or scum, which may have formed upon the surface of the molten metal, from passing into the chamber 14: thereby insuring that no dross or scum will pass through the pouring nozzles 19 and intov the molds. The pure molten metal will flow beneath the skimming member 1 1 into the chamber 14: within which it will be dis-' tributed evenly with respect to the pouring r si 2 he by i r s a equal lat e frontwall 11. A plurality of these plates 17 are lie Having thus described my said invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is I tering 1. A ladle comprising a receptacle provided with a distributing chamber, said rec'eptacle having'a plurality: of openings in one of its walls and in communication with saidchamber, and pouring members regiswith said "openings, substantially as specified.

2. A ladle comprising a receptacle provided with a forwardly extending distributing chamber, said chamber being provided with a straight front wall having a plurality of openings extending therethrough, and pouring'members registering with said openings, substantially as specified. I

' 3. A ladle comprising a receptacle provided with a forwardlyextending distributing chamber having its front wall lying in a plane forming an angle with the plane of the top of the receptacle, said front wall having.

a plurality of openings extending therethrough, and pouring members registering with said openings, substantially as specified;

"4. A'pouring ladle comprising a receptacle having a front wall lying in a plane forming an angle with the plane of the top of the recepta'cle," a plurality .of openings in said front :wall, a cover projecting rearwardly fromsaid front wall and extending over a portion of said receptacle, a skimming member extending downwardly from said cover.

and terminating above thebotto'm of said provided with a forwardly extending portion having a front wall lying in a plane forming an angle with the plane of the top of the receptacle, said front wall having a plurality of openings extending therethrough, a cover projectingrearwardly from said front wall-and extending over 'a'portion of said receptacle, a skimming member ex tending downwardly from said cover at the rear of said forwardly extending portion and terminating above th'ebotto'm thereof to form a distributing chamber, and pouringtmembers registering with said openings, substantially as specified.

6. A pouringladle comprising a: receptacle having a plurality of openings in one of its walls, a plate provided with a plurality of pouring members, and means detachably securing said plate to said receptacle with said pouring members registering with said'openings, substantially as specified.

' 7 A pouring ladle comprising a receptacle having a plurality of openings in one of its walls, a plate, a plurality of pouring members secured to said plate, and means detachably securing said plate to said wall,with said pouring members registering with said openings, substantially as specified.
